run slowly

it's soft and gray out today.
was raining thru most of the walk.

zakk was surprised i was going.
i was surprised he was surprised.
i go every morning.

the weather changes make it wonderful.

today the trees were different than
i'd seen them in a long time.
i can't figure out why.
i guess the lighting was really gray.

they had the big black arms reachin'
for the gray....but there was something
darker about them today....not scary
darker, just darker darker.

i looked at one tree that reminded me of
yo yo when he was a pre teen! and then i
saw two trees in one yard that were both
leanin' in such funny ways towards the sky
that i laughed.

i thought of all the goofy ways i lean towards
the sky. (that's where i go for help sometimes)
i've managed some pretty odd contortions!

and then i walked by a field that i don't usually
walk by. the grass in it was the most amazing
color....

i stopped and looked at it, the cars whizzing by...

and then i watched the cars. going by so fast...

i gotta remember to slow down.
it's really crazy here. busy with so many things...
i want to remember to slow down....
maybe make some goofy contortion towards the sky,
and let the soft and gentle in.

i'm headin' out doin' some christmas shopping with
josh today.....gonna keep that in mind while i'm
runnin' around!

run slowly, ter......and let it all in.....
